<h6 class=CaptionFigColumn id=header>Description: </h6>This extension point is used to define series renderers for custom series types. The renderer implementation should extend the AxisRenderer or BaseRenderer from <i>org.eclipse.birt.chart.render</i> package based on the series type.</p>

A model renderer extension point specifies a mapping entry between a series type implementation class name defined in the chart model against the class name responsible for rendering this series type in the plot and legend area.</p>
<br>
<ul class=ConfigMarkup id=attlistDesc>
<li><b>series</b> - The series type class name for which a renderer is being defined. Series class implementations are located at org.eclipse.birt.chart.model.type.impl.*

e.g.
org.eclipse.birt.chart.model.type.impl.BarSeriesImpl</li>
<li><b>renderer</b> - The renderer implementation class name responsible for rendering the specific series type along with its data set. The renderer class is typically provided by an extension writer.

e.g.
org.eclipse.birt.chart.render.Bar</li>
</ul>

<h6 class=CaptionFigColumn id=header>API Information: </h6>Please refer to the javadocs for ISeriesRenderer in the <i>org.eclipse.birt.chart.render</i> package.
